VERSE 1
Late nights, running circles in my mind
New fears creeping up from behind
Heartbeats racing, I don’t know why
Every step forward feels like a goodbye
But I’m tired of hiding in the same safe place
I need a little fire, a little change of pace
---
PRE-CHORUS (Falsetto lift)
Ooooh, I’m holding on too tight (too tight)
Ooooh, but something feels so right (so right)
I can’t keep fighting the rising light
Maybe I’m ready tonight
---
CHORUS (More energetic, danceable)
’Cause I’m afraid of changing
But I can’t deny this feeling inside
Yeah, I’m afraid of changing
But maybe this time I’ll take the ride
Jumping the fear like I’m chasing the fire
Running the wire but I’m climbing higher
Yeah, I’m afraid of changing
But something in me comes alive
---
POST-CHORUS (Energetic falsetto hook)
Oooh, I’ll come alive (falsetto: alive, alive)
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo—turn up the light
Oooh, I’ll come alive
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo—maybe I’ll be alright
---
VERSE 2
New days pulling me out of my shell
New dreams ringing like a warning bell
Every second I can feel myself
Breaking free from the old version I held
And I’m done staying quiet while the world moves fast
I’m ready for the future I was scared to pass
---
PRE-CHORUS (Higher falsetto)
Ooooh, I hear it calling me (calling me)
Ooooh, like waves on every beat (every beat)
I’m stepping out where the unknown meets
The part of me I wanna be
---
CHORUS (Higher energy)
’Cause I’m afraid of changing
But I can’t deny this feeling inside
Yeah, I’m afraid of changing
But maybe this time I’ll take the ride
Jumping the fear like I’m chasing the fire
Running the wire but I’m climbing higher
Yeah, I’m afraid of changing
But something in me comes alive
---
BRIDGE (Strong falsetto melody)
(Falsetto) Take me higher, higher, higher—let the fear fall down
(Falsetto) If I’m shaking, I’m still breaking through the doubts I’ve found
No more running from the sound
Of the new me coming out
---
FINAL CHORUS
Yeah, I’m afraid of changing
But I feel the spark igniting inside
No, I’m not done changing
This time I’m stepping into the light
Jumping the fear like I’m chasing the fire
Running the wire but I’m climbing higher
Still afraid of changing
But now I’m coming alive
---
OUTRO (Falsetto runs)
Ooooh, I’m coming alive
Alive, alive
Doo-doo, doo-doo—maybe I’ll be alright
